It's A Wrap

We hope everyone who attended our Open Day had a fantastic day!

We know Open Days can be a little overwhelming, and not everyone will have had the opportunity to visit. So we have uploaded Open Day resources to the website for you to take a look at whenever you want. This includes presentations and lecture recordings from the day. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to get in touch. Use the search function to 'Ask Us' any additional questions you may have.

The collegiate structure is a defining characteristic of Durham University. It’s extremely reassuring to be part of an active, close-knit community with a vested interest in your welfare and development, both in your career and personal life.
